English

Subject field(s)
  • Exhaust Systems (Motor Vehicles)
  • Anti-pollution Measures
CONT

The oxygen sensor(also known as an O2 sensor, lambda sensor, or EGO sensor) is one of the most critical sensors on a fuel-injected engine. It resembles a spark plug and is located in the exhaust manifold between the turbo and catalytic converter. When at operating temperature it becomes a miniature battery which generates a voltage based on the differential between the oxygen content of the exhaust gas and the oxygen content of the ambient air. By this method it measures the amount of oxygen in the exhaust stream, allowing the ECM to compensate to some degree for various fuel grades, engine wear, altitude changes, usage of oxygenated fuel, and more. Another big benefit is the ability to keep emissions of carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and unburned hydrocarbons as low as possible.

OBS

oxygen sensor: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Échappement (Véhicules automobiles)
  • Mesures antipollution
CONT

La consommation de carburant et l'émission de gaz polluants peut être drastiquement réduite en ajustant aussi précisément que possible le mélange air/essence qui alimente le moteur. Le dosage optimum (14.7 kg d'air pour 1 kg de carburant) correspond à l'indice 1 d'un coefficient arbitrairement choisi, appelé Lambda; ce mélange est aussi appelé stœchiométrique. Afin de mesurer précisément ce dosage, un capteur d'oxygène est placé en sortie de moteur, avant le catalyseur. Ce capteur est relié au calculateur (ECU), et renseigne en permanence ce dernier sur la proportion de dioxygène (O2) à l'issue de la combustion du mélange air/essence. Si le mélange est pauvre, le dioxygène est en excès et vis versa.

OBS

capteur d'oxygène : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

  • Ovens, Furnaces and Boilers (Heating)
CONT

LP Gas Furnaces.... The technical data for these two furnaces [natural gas furnace and liquefied petroleum gas furnace] are identical except for the gas controls and the burner and pilot orifice sizes. For LP gas, the orifice sizes are much smaller because the gas has a higher density and is supplied at a higher manifold pressure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fours et chaudières (Chauffage)
OBS

Les gaz de pétrole liquéfié regroupent, entre autres, le propane et le butane. Les États-Unis, la France et le Canada utilisent surtout le propane comme combustible gazeux pour les générateurs d'air chaud. Le «butane» semble être surtout employé dans le sud des États-Unis.

Domaine(s)
  • Moteur (Véhicules automobiles)
CONT

Comme son nom le laisse entendre, un moteur à injection directe d'essence (IDE) est caractérisé par l'injection directe du carburant dans la chambre de combustion. Cette technologie a l'avantage principal de permettre le fonctionnement du moteur avec plus d'air et moins de carburant. Il en résulte une réduction de la consommation de carburant pouvant atteindre 15 % par rapport à celle des moteurs traditionnels.

OBS

Les constructeurs Mitsubishi, Toyota et Nissan offrent tous des moteurs à quatre temps à injection directe d'essence sur le marché japonais.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Equipment (Oil and Natural Gas Extraction)
CONT

For smaller fields, rather than being drilled from a large central platform, the wells are drilled from subsea clusters. For these types of wells, the wellhead and Christmas tree is installed directly on the seabed, with production from several wells co-mingled at a subsea manifold. Subsea manifolds are often linked by pipelines and umbilical control lines back to a nearby platform, where engineers can control and monitor the oil and gas production.

Key term(s)
  • sub-sea manifold

Domaine(s)
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
